Metabolite Identification
Common Nametrans-Aconitic acid
Descriptiontrans-Aconitic acid, also known as trans-aconitate or (e)-aconitic acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as tricarboxylic acids and derivatives. These are carboxylic acids containing exactly three carboxyl groups. trans-Aconitic acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. trans-Aconitic acid is a dry, musty, and nut tasting compound. Outside of the human body, trans-aconitic acid has been detected, but not quantified in several different foods, such as garden tomato fruits, root vegetables, soy beans, and rices. trans-Aconitic acid is normally present in human urine, and it has been suggested that is present in larger amounts with Reye's syndrome and organic aciduria. trans-Aconitic acid in the urine is a biomarker for the consumption of soy products. trans-Aconitic acid is a substrate of enzyme trans-Aconitic acid 2-methyltransferase (EC2.1.1.144).
